Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Identifiability constraints are necessary for parameter estimation when fitting models with nonlinear covariate associations. The choice of constraint affects standard errors of the estimated curve. Centring constraints are often applied by default because they are thought to yield lowest standard errors out of any constraint, but this claim has not been investigated. We show that whether centring constraints are optimal depends on the response distribution and parameterization, and that for natural exponential family responses under the canonical parametrization, centring constraints are optimal only for Gaussian response.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
